Contents of eQuest Project/Runs List

Topic: In Reports Output mode, what controls the contents of the list in the Project/Runs tab, and how can that list be edited?

The Project/Runs list is populated by the simulation results that are contained in the "Projects" folder of your eQuest program directory.

If it is desired to prevent items from showing up, one alternative is to make a new folder (for example, "Projects Archive") in the eQuest program file directory and move the unused files to that folder.

For eQuest projects stored in a network folder, the results viewer will show the results for all projects in the "Projects" folder of eQuest along with all of the results that are in the folder for the currently active project. Thus copies of known good baseline projects may be stored locally, for use in comparison to network projects under development.

It may also be necessary to edit feed the .pdh file with a text editor. For example, if parametric runs are renamed, the .pdh file may continue to list the old names; in this case the old names contain 'DCV' resulting in an erroneous project/runs list:

1,"Garfield ES - GSHP" ,
1,"4 - Classroom, Admin & Library DCV" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 5" ,1172020623,
1,"3 - Gym & Cafeteria DCV" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 4" ,1172020604,
1,"2 - Lighting Improvements" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 2" ,1172020568,
1,"1 - Envelope Improvements" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 1" ,1172020551,
1,"Baseline Design" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - Baseline Design" ,1172020536,
1,"4 - Demand Ventilation" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 4" ,1172012402,
1,"3 - Daylighting" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 3" ,1172012385,
-1,

Simply delete the lines containing old parametric run names from the .pdh file, replacing them with the lines containing the new names:

1,"Garfield ES - GSHP" ,
1,"4 - Demand Ventilation" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 4" ,1172012402,
1,"3 - Daylighting" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 3" ,1172012385,
1,"2 - Lighting Improvements" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 2" ,1172020568,
1,"1 - Envelope Improvements" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - 1" ,1172020551,
1,"Baseline Design" ,"Garfield Elementary - GSHP - Baseline Design" ,1172020536,
-1,

Be sure to do this with eQuest closed; upon reopening eQuest the project/runs list should now meet or exceed expectations.
